Speaking of news biases, I was watching the news last week on NBC (as that is the only US channel I get) and saw yet another special on Jessica Lynch, the rescued soldier. Early on, when she was first rescued, I distinctly remember the news reporting that she had gone off to join the military in an attempt to raise money for college. However, in recent days, the word out of NBC is that what in fact happened was that she decided to go join the military because somewehat whimsically, she "wanted to see the world." Not only does this sound like a weak reason, but it leads me to think, is it wrong to even criticize the US's higher education system in times of war?
